Ms Anne Graham:

There is nothing that is unworkable. Any variation of what the Deputy is proposing can be made to work. We must ask if it is the most efficient way of working and that is what we are posing in our opening statement. That is the kind of thing that needs to be looked at if functions are removed. Even if the function is retained and if the work is retained, we must examine if there is a further layer of reporting that sometimes builds in inefficiencies. That is not to say that could not be made to work. I could not say it would be unworkable.
